Read each question carefully and follow the instructions to reflect the given figures on the coordinate plane. Show all your work where applicable.
1. Reflect the point A(3, -2) across the x-axis. What are the coordinates of A'?
2. Reflect the point B(-5, 4) across the y-axis. What are the coordinates of B'?
3. Plot the triangle with vertices C(1, 1), D(4, 1), and E(1, 5). Then, reflect triangle CDE across the x-axis. Label the reflected vertices C'D'E'.
4. When reflecting a point (x, y) across the x-axis, the new coordinates are ( ).
5. When reflecting a point (x, y) across the y-axis, the new coordinates are ( ).
6. Which of the following describes the reflection of point P(2, -3) to P'(-2, -3)?
Reflection across the x-axis
Reflection across the y-axis
Reflection across the line y = x
Reflection across the origin
7. Plot the segment FG with F(-4, 0) and G(-1, 3). Then, reflect segment FG across the line y = 1. Label the reflected segment F'G'.
8. A reflection changes the size of a figure.
True
False
9. The line of reflection is always equidistant from any point and its image.
True
False
